I had everything working great on my server. Just got my domain backup, disabled ICS and configured DHCP DNS and then started messing with RRAS. It worked fine for a second. I guess i changed something because for some reason it just stopped working. I got a dhcp address from my server still, but now the only pages i could even ping were the cached pages. I went back to find out what I changed but don't know. Does anyone have some advice or know a good place to find information on configuring RRAS for a small network just to get internet access ( I also want to setup a VPN in the next few days though).

Use the RRAS wizard to enable NAT. On the clients, set an ip address in the private range (192.168.0.x or whatever you prefer), specify the gateway as the internal ip of the server (192.168.0.x or something like that) and specify the dns servers as the ones that your isp gave you. That is the easiest to setup, but you can also setup DHCP on the server to enter those settings automatically. You can also setup a DNS server on the server so that you can use it instead of your ISPs DNS servers.

Hope that helps ;)
